Geometric Inequalities for Skew CR-Warped Product Submanifolds in Locally Conformal Almost Cosymplectic Manifolds

In this paper, we investigate contact skew CR-warped product submanifolds of locally conformal almost cosymplectic manifolds, a framework that simultaneously generalizes warped product pseudo-slant, semi-slant, and contact CR-submanifolds. We first establish a necessary and sufficient characterization theorem showing that a proper contact skew CR-submanifold with integrable slant distribution admits a local warped product structure if and only if certain shape operator conditions involving the slant angle and the warping function are satisfied. Subsequently, we derive sharp geometric inequalities for the squared norm of the second fundamental form in terms of the warping function, the slant angle, and the conformal factor of the ambient manifold. The equality cases are completely characterized and lead to strong rigidity results, namely that the base manifold is totally geodesic while the slant fiber is totally umbilical in the ambient space. Several applications are presented, showing that our results recover and extend a number of known inequalities and classification theorems for warped product submanifolds in cosymplectic, Kenmotsu, and Sasakian geometries as special cases.
